Warndon Villages is handily located around the corner from Old Warndon and linked by a series of useful dark alleyways... makes theft very easy with great escape routes especially in the darker months. Hardly amazing police work, with a little local knowledge and a look at www.police.co.uk's crime maps you can see the pattern. As for speeding there is a massive difference between the estate roads and the main roads such as Woodgreen Drive both in terms of design and visibility. Basic message is here: "Law abiding citizens lock up your stuff, its your fault for having nice things not the thieves, BUT if you speed which is entirely unacceptable when compared to theft we will do something about that."

hmm, so Vox populi, if you live on Old Warndon you are a thief? Could the culprits not have travelled from, let's say for sake of argument, Claines or Brittania Square?!

I made no generalization, I like and have many friends in Old Warndon. I think you might be a little sensitive. As I stated above when I was living in the area a large proportion of the crime myself and my neighbours encountered was traced back to and caused by residents of Old Warndon - A sad FACT I am afraid.

What a load of tosh. All the police are doing is to give good advice about looking after your valuables and I assume because there has been an increased incidence of theft in a specific area. The police will also investigate and try to arrest anyone involved. Speeding is also a crime and in effect another form of anti-social behaviour but I'm not aware the police locally are doing much to penalise those who break the law. As a cyclist its not nice to have your bike stolen, but I'd much rather that than be knocked off my bike by an inconsiderate speeding motorist.

Can I give another warning to you. I live on Warndon Villages, last month I was unloading a van on my drive in broad day light. My house is at the end of a cul de sac and in the minute I was taking stuff into my house someone pulled up in a white transit and stole a tool box out of the van. Thieves don't always use dark nights and alleyways, neighbours saw him but thought that no one would be so audacious to take something in broad day light with people in the street. Lock up everything no matter how long you have your back turned. I have learnt a very expensive lesson

You mean the overgrown cycle tracks with uneven surfaces, broken glass, thorns and metal barriers every couple of hundred meters. I'd prefer using cycleways, but on lots of the City's cycleways its actually safer on the roads and certainly more convenient. By the way cyclists do get prosecuted. Even the most law abiding of us also get deliberately buzzed and abused by inconsiderate motorists. From your last comment I assume you fall into that category.

Try living in the suburbs of a fully fledged city, Edgbaston, Disbury or Camden anyone - all so so much more affluent than Warnden Villages, all entirely more dangerous.

I would be more than happy to pay a small cycle path tax. I travel from St Johns to Malvern every day and the path is useless to ride on and the road to dangerous. So I drive. Decent paths are needed if we realistically want to encourage people from small connecting towns and villages to cycle to work on a regular basis but they need to be paid for by someone and the user should at least contribute to the building of them.

All the police are doing is to give good advice about looking after your valuables and I assume because there has been an increased incidence of theft in a specific area.
The police will also investigate and try to arrest anyone involved.
Speeding is also a crime and in effect another form of anti-social behaviour but I'm not aware the police locally are doing much to penalise those who break the law.
As a cyclist its not nice to have your bike stolen, but I'd much rather that than be knocked off my bike by an inconsiderate speeding motorist.[/p][/quote]Cyclist can be as anti social as speeding motorists, trouble is they don't get prosecuted at all.

I'd prefer using cycleways, but on lots of the City's cycleways its actually safer on the roads and certainly more convenient.

If you paid paid "cycle path tax" as a motorist does with road tax then you'd have an arguement.

I travel from St Johns to Malvern every day and the path is useless to ride on and the road to dangerous. So I drive.
Decent paths are needed if we realistically want to encourage people from small connecting towns and villages to cycle to work on a regular basis but they need to be paid for by someone and the user should at least contribute to the building of them.iamthebinman

Warndon Villages is handily located around the corner from Old Warndon and linked by a series of useful dark alleyways... makes theft very easy with great escape routes especially in the darker months. Hardly amazing police work, with a little local knowledge and a look at www.police.co.uk's crime maps you can see the pattern. As for speeding there is a massive difference between the estate roads and the main roads such as Woodgreen Drive both in terms of design and visibility. Basic message is here: "Law abiding citizens lock up your stuff, its your fault for having nice things not the thieves, BUT if you speed which is entirely unacceptable when compared to theft we will do something about that."

Highways, that's roads, cycle paths and pavements, are paid from general taxation. There is no such thing as Road Tax. You probably mean Vehicle Excise Duty. This is a tax based on how polluting your vehicle is. A cyclist would therefore not pay VED. They do however pay general taxes for the Highways just the same as anyone else. The vast majority are also car owners.
